  4. What is Core Data? • Performs CRUD operations • Queries values using NSPredicate • You don’t define the identity primary keys, only give relationships.

  5. Why learn Core Data? • Before Core Data, developers had to work with Sqlite3 to save data. • Handling CRUD operations was difficult. • User was responsible to check if saved data matched the schema. • Means you are writing your own persistence Layer • Using Core Data hides Sqlite3

  6. Storage Options • Binary • In-memory • XML only on Mac OS X • Sqlite
